I've had a few estheticians tell me that it has worked for bald spots on over plucked eyebrows, so clearly it helps regrow some hair.  But I don't know anyone personally who has done it.  I think they said it runs about 100 bucks and you need an RX from a derm or, technically, anyone with prescription power: MD, OD, NP, CNS, PA, etc.

I work in the eye care industry and at least weakly we have women as for latisse.  Insurance will not cover it at all, so plan on paying for it out of pocket.  We prescribe latisse if our patients want it, but we tell them the back story...

The ingredients in latisse was being tested as a glaucoma treatment medication and a side effect was shown to grow longer, thicker, darker lashes.  If you have a family history of glaucoma or are at risk or a glaucoma suspect, we won't prescribe it at all. The cosmetic side effects aren't anything I could personall deal with, but to each their own. 

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND seeing an optometrist/opthalmologist before using latisse.  I'm not promoting my industry...its just your eyes aren't anything to mess with.  The health of your eyes is so important and most people, even those who see optometrists regularly for glasses and contacts, don't understand the importance of preventative eye care.

I work for derms and plastic surgeons and have seen people use Latisse for years. 

AS @pccl: said, it is a medication, and anywhere I have worked people have had to sign releases and take home information on it. We always recommend people who have not been to their eye doctor in a while go get checked before using it. I have never seen it covered by insurance. It is cosmetic after all.

Just wanted to give a tip on using it to make your dollar stretch. You can use one brush on both eyes. There's plenty on the brush to stretch it. All the girls I work with do  it that way and double the amount of product that way. We tell our clients too.
